The aim of the Science-Technology-Society approach [FTT] is an approach that shows the role of science and technology as a method of solving social and environmental problems by moving science education in schools beyond scientific presentations. In this study, a HIE course program that aims to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for class teachers to teach science based on the FTT approach has been developed, applied and studied the effectiveness of class teachers participating in the course on the teaching practices. The research work group consists of 15 class teachers selected on the basis of the voluntary basis among the class teachers working in the Rize province. In the study where the specific case research method is used as the research method, the data is collected through the survey, observation and document analysis examination. According to the findings obtained, the course developed has a significant impact on class teachers’ understanding of the relationship between FTT and acquiring knowledge and skills to teach science based on the FTT approach in classes. In this case, it is believed that the arrangement of studies similar to the course program based on the FTT approach may be useful for other branch teachers and teachers candidates.
